Judgment on July 1, 2008:

As predicted by the community, Overlay.TV did not come out of beta status by the end of June, 2008. Judged at S$0.  -- The Industry Standard 

Original Prediction:

Overlay.TV's interactive media platform is a complex application, but there will be a lot of pressure to bring it out of beta sooner rather than later.

That pressure is the current economic malaise, and the prospect of an advertising downturn if the pain progresses. Overlay.TV needs to officially bring the platform out of beta within the next few months in order to sign up more clients and show that it's a viable production environment for marketing campaigns.

The criteria for determining this prediction are either a formal announcement by Overlay.TV management, or the "beta" graphic permanently disappears from the front-page logo before July 1, 2008.

This prediction will close approximately one week before the judgement date, or when an announcement is made, or when the beta logo disappears, whichever comes first.
